Robots to ‘reinvent the fans experience’

The multi-million pound superstars of Manchester City – who entertain fans week in week out – now have a very modern support act off the pitch, a team of robots.

The English footballing giants have teamed up with Ubtech Robotics to recruit the new squad of entertainers, who will dance, sing and do tricks for supporters on match days at the Etihad. They will also be promoted via the club’s social media platforms.

Manchester City’s chief commercial officer Tom Glick said their introduction represents a major step in the club’s commitment to “reinvent the fans experience” both at the stadium and online.
